‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘Season 12: The Reckoning’ (2018) (Comic book review)
“Buffy” Season 12 should ideally be longer than four issues, and I’m guessing it would’ve been 12 issues if the timing had worked out better. But Fox brought the “Buffy” license back in-house – ending […]
‘Buffy’ flashback: ‘Giles: Girl Blue’ (2018) (Comic book review)
During the time of “Buffy” Season 11, Giles is off at high school in Los Angeles in the clunky four-issue series “Girl Blue” (February-May 2018). It’s credited to Joss Whedon and Erika Alexander (also an […]
‘Buffy’ flashback: Season 11 (2016-17) (Comic book review)

‘Buffy’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 21-30 and ‘Where Are They Now?’ (2015-16) (Comic book reviews)

Over in the pages of Season 10, things are going well in Buffy and Spike’s relationship, so in true “Buffy” fashion, it’s time to throw a monkey wrench into the mix. It comes in the […]
‘Buffy’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 11-20 (2015) (Comic book reviews)
I gave some leeway to the start of “Buffy” Season 10, allowing writer Christos Gage to get up to speed. But the middle batch continues to be uneven, showing that he’s not quite as good as Andrew […]
‘Buffy’ flashback: Season 10, Issues 1-10 (2014) (Comic book reviews)
After their strong run on “Angel & Faith” Season 9, writer Christos Gage and artist Rebekah Isaacs switch over to “Buffy” for the 30-issue Season 10. Off the bat, the quality of their work drops, […]
‘Angel & Faith’ flashback: Season 9, Issues 21-25 (2013) (Comic book reviews)
“Angel & Faith” Season 9 comes to an epic conclusion that’s not quite as great as the end of “Buffy” Season 9, but still pretty darn good, especially with the way it charts a new […]
‘Angel & Faith’ flashback: Season 9, Issues 11-20 (2012-13) (Comic book reviews)
The second batch of 10 issues in “Angel & Faith” Season 9 starts with a slight midseason dip in quality. It’s nice to catch up with Connor and Gunn, but distracting for readers of the […]
